1. Your stature is like a balanced canal
And your face has illuminated the horizons

2. The leaf of your cheek is wine of Salsabeel
Flowing with shining pearls

3. And the wonder of your languid eyelids
Acting like the acts of the sensitive

4. And the sword of the glance in the cheeks protects
The rose gardens from the hands of the aggressors

5. And hair like the night of separation wandering
On the slopes, blackening the winters

6. And your neck a neck of a gazelle, turning
Towards the hunter running in the desert

7. I disobeyed the advisers against you and tried
While you obeyed the words of the perishers

8. Your love judged for you unjustly
Against my weakness, so woe to the judges!

9. That your eyes sleep while
My eyes stay awake

10. O lightning that flashes from clouds
I let my tears flow like the Euphrates

11. You reminded me of the days of youth
And days gone by with splendor

12. And nights spent in flower gardens
Where the beloved used to gratify us

13. I wish this time of ours would turn
And bring back my delightful ones to me

14. If they could be bought I would buy
What are gone of my life for a high price

15. And between the lost and the dark night a distinguish is gone
Like the roots of trees rotten and withered

16. Lions are humbled before them, so have you heard
That the lions roar for the goats?

17. Precious ornaments, though only
Noble beauties in good localities

18. The blood of lovers is like a creditor
Without firewood, it remains without wergilds

19. The attributes of beauty in them are complete
As perfect as excellent traits

20. The king of the time and all the world
And higher than the highest minarets

21. The progeny of the best, the hoped for king
To solve the most solemn problems

22. With the attack of the brown spears
And the galloping of the horses to the enemies

23. You see the bare swords manifesting
From the eyelids, sharpening the spears

24. If oppressed, it has no roses
Except the lips of tyrannical aggressors

25. If the butcher stood amongst them preaching
The tears of the necks flow in obedience

26. And if the spears of war kneel before them
The skulls prostrate to them in submission

27. So this one composes the love poems
And the other wins with marks

28. Leading the horses, dignified and lively
To those who come asking for gifts

29. And no one gave except abundantly
So leave the thousands and the hundreds

30. At his threshold at all times
You see the summits of kings bowing down

31. So this one asking for pardon and forgiveness
And that for gifts, coming and going

32. So do not mention kings that have passed
In bygone times and places

33. If they were in this time they would be
Like the serving maidens

34. If kings are mentioned in any land
You are for them the imam of bounties

35. And if they are stars then you are a sun
There is no light like the sun's illumination

36. The creation make pilgrimage to you from every land
As they have built the platforms

37. If your army marches towards any land
The angels come walking in it

38. The war horses shade it in the deserts
Because they are certain of your victory

39. So you destroyed the enemy in every land
And emptied the countries from the tyrants

40. Your days, O colored king, are a feast
For what you love of beautiful favors

41. You are its feast if it is a feast
For other than you, O sky of bounties
